I was born in Tehran, Iran. We moved to the United Arab Emirates when I was 4 or 5. My father wanted me and my sister to grow up in a safer environment. He believed we would have a better future there. When we moved to Dubai, the real estate industry was booming, the value was going up and due to the nature of my father's business, we could afford a good life there. Moreover, English was and is widely spoken - I felt very comfortable enunciating myself.
I finished my High School (International Baccalaureate (IB) at Dubai American Academy). I studied French all my life as a third language, but I haven't really learnt. Surprisingly to my family, my teachers and myself, during my 11th and 12th grades I chose Spanish as my 2nd language. A spontaneous decision would help me in the future (now I know that, but back then, I couldn't anticipate).
Computers were always a big part of my life. I taught myself basic HTML and coding. Outside of school, I made websites for people. I remember we had a web HTML class for beginners and I already knew everything – that made me very happy. Since then, I can basically do anything technical. I can learn it and I can do it. I do websites on Wordpress and other platforms, coding, user interface programming, automation.
Otherwise, I wasn't very active during my school time, as I mostly wasted my time. Like many people of my age do.
In High School, I began music production and I chose Hip Hop and Electronic as my dominating genres. I like other music as well. As an example, now I can listen for hours to Avishai Cohen.
When I was in grade 12 and we were choosing universities, I decided to pursue music for my Undergraduate studies. I applied to one and only Musical School - Berklee College of Music in Boston (USA) and to my surprise, I got in!
I could choose Israel, Greece or Spain for the Junior Year. It was without a question of which country I chose. Conveniently, I studied Spanish for 2 years. I hesitated between choosing music or computer science, but I chose Music and Barcelona and it was the time of my life.
